Crysis Chat Log on inCrysis recaps last night's IRC session
(story) with Crytek's Cevat Yerli and NVIDIA's Roy Taylor
discussing the just-released first-person shooter. Technical topics are the
focus, touching on questions about XP performance versus Vista and things like
that. Word from NVIDIA is to expect performance improvements "almost with every
single driver drop and patch of the game," and there's also word from Crytek on
when to expect the first patch for the game: "We are collecting up all the user
feedback now and planning patches that will address as much as possible as fast
as possible. The first patch will be out in 7-14 days."

By the time the patch comes out most people will have finished the game. So its a bit pointless IMHO

At least they aren't playing it like 2K who KNOW the demand for a Bioshock patch would die down once the game was shelved after everyone played it once or twice. Crysis has a multiplayer game to sustain, meaning patches will almost certainly be required, whereas Bioshock has been a cavalcade of lies.
